Over 30% Below Market — Tenanted Studio in Royal Oceanic, Dubai Marina at AED 800,000
This is one of the most immediately compelling distress investment opportunities currently available in Dubai Marina — combining a verified distress price of over 30% below market with a sitting tenant already paying AED 70,000 per year until March 2027. A studio apartment in Royal Oceanic, Dubai Marina is now available at AED 800,000 against a current market valuation of AED 1,150,000 or above — a saving of over AED 350,000. The existing tenancy at AED 70,000 per annum means the incoming investor begins generating rental income from the date of transfer without any vacancy period, letting costs, or furnishing requirement. At AED 800,000 with AED 70,000 annual rent already secured, the gross yield on purchase price equates to approximately 8.75% — a level that is materially above the current Dubai Marina apartment market average and represents an exceptional income-generating entry for a buy-to-let investor in one of Dubai's most liquid and internationally recognised residential addresses.

The Investment Case — 8.75% Gross Yield from Day One
The financial proposition of this listing is direct and investor-focused. The studio is rented at AED 70,000 per annum — a strong annual rent for a Marina studio — with the tenancy running until March 2027. The incoming buyer acquires this rental income stream from the date of transfer, with no vacancy period between purchase and rent receipt. At AED 800,000 purchase price, the gross yield on purchase price is approximately 8.75% — materially above the prevailing Dubai Marina studio average gross yield and representing one of the most immediately productive buy-to-let entries currently available in the Marina market. The distress price of AED 800,000 against a market value of AED 1,150,000 or above means the buyer also acquires over AED 350,000 of immediate equity on the asset — the combination of income yield and equity gain from day one makes this listing stand apart from conventional buy-to-let opportunities at this price point in this community.
